Smoky Maple

Sizes Available:
Loose Leaf - 12 Servings, 80 Servings, 200 Servings

Transport yourself to a wood - fired sugar shack with this Ontario maple syrup infused, superbly smoky tea. Add a splash of steamed chocolate milk for a sippable s'more.

Note - this tea (as the name might suggest) has been smoked over wood fires in the finishing process. It's truly a smokeshow in a cup (perfect for Lapsang Souchong lovers) so, if you don't love smoky flavours, this tea may not be for you. Might we suggest Canoe Lake instead?

Traditional Preparation: Measure 1 tsp of loose tea and add to a tea filter or strainer (or use one tea bag). Steep in 8-12 oz freshly boiled water for 5 minutes. Delicious on its own, or lightly sweetened. Enjoy!

Hot Latte Recipe: Measure 1 tsp of loose tea and add to a tea filter or strainer (or use one tea bag). Steep in 4-6 oz freshly boiled water for 5 minutes. Add hot steamed milk of your choice. (Dairy, nut, oat, etc) Highly recommend a splash of maple syrup for a perfect finish!

The Health Benefits of Black Tea

Black tea is brimming with goodness. The naturally occurring flavonoids in black teas act as antioxidants. These are compounds that prevent cell damage by neutralizing free radicals. Cell damage has been linked to many chronic diseases including cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Tea is simply loaded with antioxidants - in fact two cups of tea contain the antioxidant levels of seven glasses of orange juice, or four apples!

While tea does contain caffeine (around 25 to 34mg per serving, far less than coffee) this caffeine is bundled with several compounds that work to prevent an energy "‹œspike' and promote a gentler, extended "‹œlift' to help sustain energy and focus throughout the day.

Black tea has been linked to:

Decreased risk of cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke) through improved cholesterol levels and reduced cell damage
Providing some protective benefits against cancer through antioxidants
Immune system strength - tea contains theanine, a unique amino acid that supports the immune system, helping our bodies defend against infections, bacteria, and viruses. In one clinical trial, participants who consumed five cups of black tea daily for two to four weeks experienced a 2x - 4x increase in interferon in their immune cells.
Bone strength and oral health. Tea is a natural source of fluoride which helps protect tooth enamel, and studies have shown that habitual tea drinkers had healthy bone mineral density in later life.
Kidney stone prevention - a recent study found that for every eight ounce cup of tea female participants drank daily, their risk of developing these painful stones decreased by eight percent. (Participants had no history of stones) Another study showed a decreased risk of 14% in men.
With all these benefits going for it, it's no wonder that tea is the second most frequently consumed beverage in the world. Enjoy it hot or over ice, any time you need a healthful lift to your day.
